Infinite Campus Parent Portal Guide

Introduction Clayton County Public Schools understands that parental access to information is a critical link in guiding and supporting students. The Campus Portal is designed to help you stay up-to-date with your child's assignments, activities and academic progress. In this secure site, information about your child is just a click away. You can view assignment details, track attendance, and print report cards. Teachers, counselors and staff publish information as it is available; giving parents immediate access to ongoing student performance. You can login to the Campus Portal to view your child's information from any convenient location around the world where internet access is available. Schools post announcements, important notices, and meetings onto the portal, allowing busy families to schedule, plan and stay informed. How it Works To use the Campus Portal, you need a computer with Internet access. Your account will remain active while your child remains within the district. Access to the Campus Portal Instructions for acquiring your user name and login are provided on the CCPS web site. .

Select ? Students and Parents Select ? Infinite Campus for Parents Select ? Parent Portal Quick Guide Security Features The Campus Portal incorporates the highest level of security. Parents and guardians can see only information related to the child(ren) they are authorized to view. Parents and guardians will have access only to the links they have been given permission. This is dependent upon the information provided about parent and guardian rights, living arrangements, etc. By default, the system will automatically end any user session that has been dormant for 60 minutes. Five unsuccessful login attempts will disable the portal account. In order to use the portal again, parents will need to contact the school to have the account reactivated. Additional security settings include an access log that monitors successful logins.

Navigating the Campus Portal Navigating the Campus Portal is easy. Once logged in, an index of accessible information for each child is listed within the left navigation of the screen. The parent's name will appear under the Campus Portal header. Each child's name is listed below, with links to their school information. Information is explained in order of appearance within the Campus Portal. School and District Notices When viewing the Campus Portal for Parents, any relevant notices are displayed in the main frame of the screen. Notices are organized by district-wide messages or by building-specific messages.

Viewing the left navigation of the screen, and scrolling down the list of options, you will find: Family This is the demographic information about your family, such as address, email, phone and a list of other members within the household (family unit). The household's physical and mailing address and all individuals designated as part of that household are viewable.

The household is primarily based on the relationships established between the student, parents, guardians and siblings. For example, in a traditional family there may be one household with two parents, the child and siblings living at one address with both parents having full access to all information. In the situation of a blended or split family, a child may be listed in two households at different addresses and with different sibling structures. The school can give access rights to all parents/guardians to whom the child has a relationship or only specific rights to one parent or guardian. This authorization structure is established when the custodial parent or guardian informs the schools of the rights of each parent or guardian to this information. Use the Select Student drop down in the top left of the screen to view all of the students a user has rights to view and select a student to view Portal information for that student only. Only students with an enrollment in the current year or an enrollment next year will display in the list.

Calendar The Calendar link underneath a particular child's name will only show information for that child. It displays assignments that are due on a specific day, as well as events specific to that child and school. This can help you track the coursework for the particular individual child to avoid missing or late assignments.
